While we’re at it, here’s another prompt we wanted to start off with: tracking mentions of math found in news and other media outside the classroom. As I referenced in an earlier post, this pandemic has thrust lots of statistics, charts, graphs, and calculations into the public eye. If you see any interesting articles, graphics, etc. related to math, go ahead and post a short description with a link and/or screenshot under the tag “Math in the Media.”
I’ll get the ball rolling with an interesting article I saw today on one result of the worldwide lockdowns that I hadn’t previously considered.
